The kit comes from Ultimate Warrior Clothing who are trying to build the concept of sporting &#039;Clans&#039;. The clothing is common to all the sports, currently that&#039;s triathlon, swimming, biking, running, mountain biking, boarding and fighting but the logos and mottos vary for each.

The two garments we&#039;ve been trying are the classic hoodie, an 80:20 cotton polyester fleece which is definitely warm and cosy, and a pure cotton T-shirt that has been finished with that sort of peach fuzz effect that makes it feel really soft. They describe the hoodie as having a large hood - that&#039;s a bit of an understatement, we camped out in ours! OK, perhaps not but it&#039;s definitely on the urban style side of the room rather than the compression kit side and if the wind catches it you may well take off!



The kit&#039;s not cheap: the hoodie is &pound;55 and the T-shirt is &pound;25 but it seems to be of decent quality and should last. Certainly our test samples aren&#039;t showing any signs of distress after a couple of month&#039;s wear but being in that ash grey colour it&#039;s only a matter of time before they get stained - shame that they didn&#039;t offer different colours to match the logos.

Overall we aren&#039;t sure about the whole &#039;clan&#039; thing - triathletes have enough sub-groupings already with clubs, national federations, long distance variants and so on but pretty much all of us know what we are without some form of branding. (OK, there&#039;s the whole M-dot tattoo obsession but I can&#039;t really comment on that given the wife will probably read this!) Pseudo social groupings apart, if you&#039;re looking for something other than your club kit to wear pre- or post-race then this is worth a look. But then, if you&#039;re wearing club kit you&#039;ve already made it quite clear what &#039;clan&#039; you&#039;re in...]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Review: 2XU Xform thermal compression]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.tri247.com/article_9574.html]]></link><description><![CDATA[There&#039;s little danger of Jenny, our regular Ironman athlete, ever being mistaken for an extra from Tron (sorry Andy...) but she&#039;s long been a fan of compression gear. Trouble is, in winter it tends to be a bit on the chilly side so what would she make of the 2XU thermal range?



As a user (and lover) of merino wool socks and baselayers I have to confess that I did wonder just how warm 2XU&#039;s new thermal compression top and tights were going to be. Made from 80% nylon and 20% lycra, the tights come from the Xform range which is designed for active use and recovery. I have to say that they are the best fitting and most comfortable compression tights that I&#039;ve tried so far. The fit is definitely an improvement over the previous Elite model - it&#039;s longer in the leg to start with, which is the way I like them - and although they are described as thermal you don&#039;t cook while exercising.

The long-sleeved top is great to wear on a cold run and works well on the bike too. It&#039;s not warm enough for me (but I feel the cold really badly) and I&#039;m tending to wear a second thermal layer on top of it at the moment to get the extra insulation under my regular bike top but others may find it&#039;s plenty warm enough. The compression fit makes it snug and comfortable as the bottom layer - it just doesn&#039;t seem to work if you put a thermal baselayer underneath.

So until the weather warms up quite a bit these two are definitely on top of the kit pile and it will be interesting to see if the rest of the new PXR compression range lives up to the promise of these items.

I&#039;ve also been trying out the recovery stockings which are an absolute must for anyone training hard and needing to recover for the next day. Much less compressive than a conventional compression racing sock and covering both upper and lower leg, unlike a calf guard, they can be worn under regular jeans or even leggings to get in that recovery benefit while you&#039;re at work and nobody need ever know.

Thanks to Mike Martin for sorting out the kit for us: the Xform thermal tights are &pound;95, the Xform long sleeve thermal top is &pound;85 and the Refresh stockings are &pound;40.

Apart from the obvious delights of being an (almost) cordless product - there is a loop of cable between the two earpieces - it also has a strong triathlon connection as the company has entered a partnership with triple Ironman World Champion, Craig Alexander who will become an ambassador for the products.

The headset features US Military grade protection against shock, dust and rain, has the capability of being paired with two different handsets and as well as controlling your music player (functions are model/phone dependent) and handling your calls it can also control the Endomondo Sports Tracker app which is something else that&#039;s pretty neat and is well worth checking out if you have a GPS-enabled phone.

We&#039;ve currently got a unit on trial and we&#039;ll publish a review later on.]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Review: AudioFuel TriHarder]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.tri247.com/article_9544.html]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chrissie Wellington may be taking the year off doing Ironman but one thing&#039;s for sure, she&#039;s not standing around twiddling her thumbs! When John Levison interviewed her just before Christmas she was finishing up the production on her joint venture with AudioFuel and Universal which has now been released as the TriHarder package. Our resident ironwoman, already a big fan of the AudioFuel concept, has been testing the bike and run sessions for us.



If you like the AudioFuel concept you&#039;ll love the TriHarder sessions with Chrissie Wellington for both the bike and the run. I do these on the treadmill, and turbo sessions will really push you to your limits. As always, Chrissie&#039;s voice is really inspiring and she actually sounds as though she&#039;s enjoying talking to &#039;you&#039; - it&#039;s a much more personal experience that I had been expecting. As well as the session focussed content there are plenty of Chrissie tips about how to get through the pain when training and unlike some of the other AudioFuel sessions I use there&#039;s nowhere to hide with these. There&#039;s certainly no feeling that the rest periods are a bit on the generous side, something I commented on when I reviewed their Power Blast turbo session a while ago.

It&#039;s probably worth making a point before I start on the review: these are sessions controlled by you with encouragement from the music (in terms of helping you maintain a specific cadence) and Chrissie (in terms of motivation and direction). They are not linked to or dependent upon power meters, heart rate monitors, speed readouts or any form of feedback from instruments - as is often the case with programmes like CTS and Coach Troy. That said, there&#039;s nothing to stop you recording all your exercise data and looking at it afterwards - just don&#039;t worry about it while you are doing the TriHarder sets. It&#039;s all about you and your motivation (assisted, of course, by Ms Wellington and the music...) and not about raw numbers. You may well be surprised by the results!

The longest of the three Ride Harder sessions is 97 minutes pyramid interval set and if you do this correctly you&#039;ll definitely be in need of a recovery drink and the 20 minute Relax session afterwards. For time challenged athletes there are shorter 60 and 40 minutes sessions that also punch well above their weight.

Run Faster also comes in three lengths, 52, 40 and 25 minutes and again I tested the longest one on the gym&#039;s treadmill. Designed to help you increase your pace with the usual AudioFuel music mix driving you along it&#039;s another proper workout that&#039;ll have you reaching for the compression socks once it&#039;s done.

If you need motivation there&#039;s also a 12 minute Lace Up module with a music track designed to get you pumped up. AudioFuel&#039;s Music Director, Howie Saunders, worked on the Matrix soundtrack so between him and Chrissie you should be ready for anything. Half the revenue from Lace Up will be going to the Challenged Athletes Foundation, Chrissie&#039;s an ambassador, so you&#039;ll be helping others as well as yourself with this one.

Worth it? Definitely, if you like working to a session plan and are OK with audio/video coaching products like AudioFuel, Coach Troy, etc then these will fit right in with what you&#039;re used to. If you&#039;re unsure of the concept have a quick listen to the samplers on AudioFuel&#039;s website and I&#039;m sure you&#039;ll become a convert. But, please, don&#039;t ever think of going out on the open road for your bike sessions with headphones!

Prices for the TriHarder modules are as follows, the two bundled packs offer a cheaper way to get multiple modules:


	
		Lace Up &pound;3.75
	
	
		Ride Harder &pound;19.99

The ice bath has gone mobile; the 110% kit is claimed to maximise sporting performance and facilitate recovery [in a way that] that is simple, mobile and effective.

Using seamless technology, 110% Compression + Ice products include anatomically targeted compression technology to increase blood flow and prepare muscles for exertion. Worn during training, the garments increase muscle stability and decrease the build up of lactic acid, reducing fatigue and risk of injury.

Post exercise, reusable ice sheets fit neatly into the unique pocket architecture of each garment allowing for immediate ice therapy to reduce muscle soreness, making the ice bath more accessible and truly mobile.

16-time Ironman competitor, ultra-marathon runner and CEO of 110%, David Green, explains: &ldquo;Since the initial US launch in February 2011, the 110% compression + ice line has generated a huge buzz amongst passionate athletes looking for ways to recover faster and enhance their performance. It seemed only right to bring it into the UK, the home of the 2012 Olympics. We know that with our gear, we are giving athletes the tools to push their game further, to play harder.&rdquo;

Designed to be worn by sporting enthusiasts and professional athletes before, during and after training, George Pinner, member of the GB Hockey team, reveals: &ldquo;As a full time athlete, no other product on the market offers me the immediate opportunity to treat muscles and bounce back after a tough game or workout. Training on a daily basis, both on the pitch and in the gym, I always wear my compression kit. Gone are the days of a messy ice bath; I just slip the ice sheets into my kit and because they stay frozen for up to six hours in the thermal bag, I can recover on the go plus they can be worn under clothing.&rdquo;

Green continues: &ldquo;We are excited to be kitting out both recreational and elite athletes across the country in their quest for optimal sporting performance. It is our mission to give athletes the tools they need to play harder.&rdquo;

The men and women&rsquo;s product line include Double Life Shin and Calf Sleeves, Clutch Full Length Tights, Juggler Knickers, Transformer Shorts, Knee and Elbow Sleeves and Full Length Arms. Prices range from &pound;55.00 to &pound;165.00

Nothing like a bit of New Zealand&#039;s finest merino wool to keep the winter chill at bay!



What Orca say
Combining the best natural and synthetic performance materials the Perform Merino Full Tight is an essential for performance in mild-cool temperatures and changeable conditions. Suitable to wear before, during and after exercise, the performance plated merino has a soft-on-skin New Zealand merino wool inner lining, which regulates body temperature, manages moisture and eliminates body odour. The merino is plated to an outer layer nylon/spandex blend which protects you from the elements and provides muscle compression, stretch and range of motion.

The tight features reflective logos and trims for safety, a small rear zip pocket and a fine fleece chamois for extra comfort and protection. Ergonomic panel construction ensures support and comfort mile after mile.


	Protection from elements
	Merino regulates temperature more effectively than cotton and polyester

	GBP &pound;80.00


What we say
I have to say from the outset that I have been a bit of a fan of the Orca Merino range for a while, having used some of their base layer tops for the past year. They have proved to be very hard wearing and very comfortable against the skin. They have also survived several accidental hot washes and remarkably have come out unscathed (so far) despite my fears for them being shrunk to an unwearable extra small size! Low temperature washes are suggested, as with most natural products.

I mention the hard wearing nature of my existing Merino items at the outset as these tights are priced at the top end of the scale and this might be a factor when purchasing some new tights. From my experience you will be wearing these for a good few cold seasons and still looking smart. So rest easy, buy right and buy once!

So how do these tights fare? Well I was very surprised at the feel of the material, a smooth outer and a more &#039;wooly&#039; inside, fine textured and comfortable. When you check out these tights you may come up with a better description than &#039;wooly&#039; as they are very fine and have a great technical feel. 

The fit for me was great, very snug with plenty of give in the fabric to avoid any feeling of constriction when in full flight. The elasticity of my existing base layer tops has remained exactly as it was when new.

A nice wide waistband ensures that these tights stay in place and also is another comfort feature that does not dig in. The small pocket at the rear is actually large enough to hold an iPhone quite easily if you so wish but more than adequate for gels or keys etc.

Construction of the garment is of a very high quality and the stitching looks  bulletproof which is reassuring as the tights are made up of numerous panels of fabric which aids the good fit. Dare I say an anatomical fit? As a black garment Orca have scattered various reflective touches as shown in the picture. These are not over the top resulting in a very restrained and elegant product. You will be seen in the dark but without looking like an extra from the film Tron!

In conclusion, don&#039;t be put off by the price, these should last a good while and provide a very comfortable and functional pair of tights for seasons to come. As a performance garment, and a natural product they provide excellent results in both the cold wind and those warmer winter days. How are they in the rain? Not a problem with its great wicking and fast drying.

Get a pair, you will not be disappointed.

I should know, I&#039;ve bought enough in my time! After many years of happy ownership I eventually parted company with the brand because they never quite seemed to make the monitor I needed. Indeed an awful lot of people I knew at the time also had the same issue with the brand: too many models, too many sub-markets and, quite simply, too much internal confusion between ways to connect accessories.

To be honest, I&#039;m not entirely sure that Polar have simplified everything but at least if you stick to the W.I.N.D range of bits and pieces you&#039;ll be certain that it will all work together. Quite why Polar didn&#039;t sign up for ANT+ like pretty much everyone else in the fitness market is a mystery, their W.I.N.D is essentially the same technology but incompatible with everyone else&#039;s ANT+.

So, with that out of the way, what does the Polar RCX5 have to offer?

Polar describe it as a &#039;training computer&#039; and it&#039;s certainly more than just a heart rate monitor. The glossy brochure is clearly aimed at the multisport athlete; there&#039;s the suggestion that it&#039;s all you&#039;ll need for swim, bike and run plus there&#039;s the added hook of being able to add extra bits like a GPS unit, footpod, bike speed and cadence with, of course, the obligatory upload capability for the socially aware.

The unit we&#039;ve been testing came as the RCX5 Multi in that it has the main unit with a hybrid chest strap that allows a heart rate to be recorded in water plus their G5 GPS unit and a DataLink USB stick. Weighing in at a &pound;359.50 (that&#039;s the RRP, online deals at varying discounts are available) it&#039;s all you&#039;ll need to gather all the basics but you could add a stride sensor (&pound;121.50), a bike cadence unit (&pound;45.75) and a bike speed unit (&pound;45.75) if you were doing turbo sessions. Polar do various bundles so it&#039;s worth checking out the options to see which set works best for you.



As a basic (OK, it&#039;s far from being basic!) HRM the RCX5 is a nicely sized unit, it&#039;s no thicker than my regular watch and at first glance has a big, clear display. The watch body is sort of octagonal with buttons on the four chamfers and a bigger red one at the bottom. The strap appears to be permanently attached but is probably replaceable, there&#039;s a pin which looks like it could be removed with the right tools. The battery cover at the rear can be screwed off to replace the standard CR2032 battery which has an expected life of around 11 months based on an hour of use per day although our fresh-out-of-the-box watch was already flashing its battery life indicator which makes us wonder if it had been round the review circuit a bit before we got it.

Battery life is one of the areas that GPS watches suffer in, size being the other obvious one, and dumping off all the GPS functions to a separate unit with its own rechargeable battery is tactic that Polar have been using ever since they started making GPS capable HRMs. This also has the secondary benefit of reducing the size and weight of the wrist unit but even Polar&#039;s GP5 unit isn&#039;t that small and it really makes you appreciate just how much Garmin have wedged into their units.

The GPS pod is light and the arm cuff a lot less annoying that I had expected:  this opinion might change in the Summer months when there&#039;s no sleeve there and it&#039;s directly on my skin, but for now it&#039;s fine. Charging it is just a matter of popping it out of the pouch and plugging in a USB cable. Don&#039;t expect to be able to also use the GP5 as a general purpose GPS logger though, it seems that the only path the data has is what&#039;s displayed on the polarpersonaltrainer website - but more on that later.

The WearLink+ hybrid chest strap is one of those where the transmitter unit snaps onto a pair of metal &#039;poppers&#039; to make the connection and you can change the battery yourself. Quite what makes this &#039;hybrid&#039; strap work in the water where regular WearLink ones don&#039;t is not explained but it seemed to function reasonably well even if, like every other chest strap, it had the tendency to move and slip in the pool.

Running with the RCX5 is pretty straightforward; fire up the GPS module in its arm strap and then hit the big red button on the watch which jumps to the current sport and indicates which sensors are active. If you need to change sports it&#039;s done with the up/down pair and each sport has a nice little icon with the expected sensors flashing away. When these are detected you get a little tick in the circle - a warning triangle instead indicates a problem. Bash the red button again and go, it&#039;s that simple.



It is at this point one of disappointments of the RCX5, at least from my point of view, appears. The sharp, clear time display is now replaced by a series of up to six screens each showing four lines of information that are a little too overcrowded for comfort. By default the first shows heart rate, average heart race, time of day and elapsed time and is the one you&#039;ll have selected for most uses. Yet it&#039;s all a bit crowded and the design of the characters a little clumsy - reading it on the move with my less than 20:20 eyesight was a bit of a struggle at times. Of course, there&#039;s the argument that you shouldn&#039;t be looking at the watch anyway but ... 

The problem isn&#039;t that you can&#039;t modify what&#039;s being displayed on the screens, you can tailor each of the four lines to show exactly what you want, but that you are stuck with that four line per screen configuration. Having become used to the Garmin options which adjust the size of the blocks depending on how many of them you have I found this a much less flexible system.

[UPDATED] Thanks to the kind person who Twittered us that you can change the display size for the top or bottom row of the four on the display. If you press and hold the &#039;up&#039; button the top row doubles in size, press and hold the &#039;down&#039; button and the bottom row doubles in size. So, pick your parameters carefully and you can get six screens each with two double-size lines of display. Not perfect flexibility but a whole lot better than I had first suggested.

In more generous times Polar used to bundle their ProTrainer software with the top-end watches (the RCX5 is definitely top-end!) but the RCX5 isn&#039;t compatible with it so the best you can do is download the WebSync package and connect up to the polarpersonaltrainer site. As a way to record your training data, set targets and generally manage your life (in training terms) it&#039;s fine and will suit most people&#039;s requirements perfectly. However we did discover that under some circumstances the GPS route didn&#039;t get uploaded even though the unit clearly knew how far it had been on runs and bikes. The Polar website help pages and all the other product documentation said that if you used the GPS then the track would be loaded but for one reason or another it stubbornly refused to co-operate.

After digging around in the Polar Forums it appears that the RCX5 has a bit of a checkered history on the WebSync front and uploads with a previous version (2.3.1) work fine on my PC but the latest (2.4.0) fails to upload the GPS data from my Mac... We&#039;re sticking with the old software for a while!

Part of the polarpersonaltrainer site&#039;s capability is to allow you to develop training plans on the site and then download them back to the wrist unit. I suspect that most users will never bother to do this but if you are working with a coach who is monitoring your training and creating specific programs for you then this is a potentially powerful tool.

For those who train on their own but need some extra encouragement the unit has a Race Pace feature which allows you to compare your current pace with one programmed in but the slight catch seems to be that this needs either a CS speed sensor for the bike or an S3+ footpod - the documentation says nothing about working with the GPS unit which is a bit baffling.

I did test the OwnIndex function which is Polar&#039;s equivalent to a VO2 max test but done at a resting state - far nicer to the system than a full-on ergo test! Given my current state of fitness I can report that I was pleasantly surprised by the result which seemed pretty fair and the predicted maximum heart rate was also close enough to my last tested value that I&#039;ll happily accept that too. Polar have been doing these predicted values and zone adjustments based on them for a very long time and it has to be acknowledged that they are pretty damn good at it. For those of us who simply can&#039;t be bothered (or want) to go through a lab workout and all the unpleasantness it usually involves the results are close enough that it won&#039;t make a difference. Elite athletes are welcome to inflict that much discomfort on themselves but I can&#039;t say that I&#039;ve any desire to do one ever again!

There&#039;s no denying that the RCX5 watch is accurate, it captures all the data you could possibly need and can interface with every accessory you could ever want - with the major exception of power measurement systems. If you are happy with the limited download capabilities - and polarpersonaltrainer, bugs notwithstanding, will be OK for most people who just want to do logging - then the RCX5 ticks pretty much all the boxes. The only downside is that it&#039;s a pretty expensive offering and yet misses out on some of the ease of use that we&#039;ve become accustomed to these days. Oh, and it&#039;ll only ever work with Polar&#039;s range of W.I.N.D accessories rather than the growing range of ANT+ capable products from almost everyone else and, in today&#039;s mix and match world, that could be frustrating for a multisport athlete.]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Royles Zipp 404 deal]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.tri247.com/article_9549.html]]></link><description><![CDATA[Royles have limited stocks of Zipp 404 clinchers (2011 edition) in both Shimano and Campagnolo variants at a special deal price of &pound;1150.
